Yes. Lakeland University offers several degree programs that can be completed entirely online. Undergraduate options include Business Administration, Communication, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Engineering Technology, RN to BSN Nursing Completion, Accounting, Psychology, Hospitality Management, Management, Data Science, and select Education programs.

Lakeland University's evening and online programs are designed for working adults and offer flexible scheduling and multiple learning formats. Students can choose from in-person evening classes at our centers located throughout the state of Wisconsin, live virtual evening classes, or fully online courses. Many courses are taught by experienced industry professionals who bring real-world expertise into the classroom. Unlike the traditional undergraduate program, evening and online programs are priced per credit and include scholarships of $50 per undergraduate credit and $100 per graduate credit to qualified students.

Yes. Lakeland University offers Credit for Prior Learning, allowing eligible students to earn up to 10 academic credits for relevant professional experience. The assessment fee is $100, and there is a $150 charge for each credit awarded. However, because Lakeland has a generous transfer credit policy—accepting up to 90 transfer credits from other colleges and universities—many students may already receive credit for previous coursework instead. Students must complete a minimum of 30 Lakeland credits to earn a degree from the university.

The time it takes to complete a degree depends on the number of transfer credits accepted and the number of courses a student chooses to take each semester. Many students transfer an associate degree and receive 60–72 transfer credits, while others may transfer up to 90 credits. Students who only need 30 credits and take four classes per semester could finish in as few as three semesters. Others who need additional coursework and take one class at a time may take longer. Lakeland's flexible scheduling allows students to customize their academic plan based on their personal and professional commitments.

Lakeland University offers classes at Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC), Fox Valley Technical College (Appleton), Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (Green Bay), and in Sheboygan County at our Main Campus. Admissions and transfer advisors are also located at Mid-State Technical College, Fox Valley Technical College, Moraine Park Technical College, Blackhawk Technical College, Waukesha County Technical College, and Lakeshore College to assist prospective students with admissions and transfer questions.

Yes. Lakeland University's online degree programs are accredited through the same institutional accreditation as its on-campus programs.
